Stations and crafting
The Furnace, Mill, Juicer and Cauldron, how they level up, and every recipe they cook.
The four stations
Crafting turns crops into goods that sell for far more than the crops that went in. Each station arrives with its own island: when you reach the level, the island appears on the map with the Grand station already standing on it. You can't move or buy a Grand, and you only ever have one of each.
Grand Furnace
Arrives at L7 on Furnace Island. 17 recipes.
Grand Mill
Arrives at L30 on Mill Island. 6 recipes.
Grand Juicer
Arrives at L80 on Juicer Island. 7 recipes.
Grand Cauldron
Arrives at L250 on Cauldron Island. 9 recipes.
Tap a station to open its menu, pick a recipe and a rarity, and cook. Batches run while you're away. Every finished batch gives you XP and the same amount of station XP.
Minis and benches
A Grand station starts with one bench, so it cooks one batch at a time, plus room for 2 more batches waiting in line.
A Mini is an upgrade for its Grand, bought from the Structures menu and placed anywhere on your farm. It has no queue of its own; tapping it opens the Grand. Each Mini you place gives its Grand:
- +1 bench, so one more batch cooks at the same time.
- +2 queue room, so you can line up more batches before you walk away.
So a Grand with 2 Minis cooks 3 batches at once and holds 9 in total. There is no limit on Minis; the price is the limit. Station levels never add benches.
| Mini | Unlocks | First one costs | Each extra one |
|---|---|---|---|
| L10 | 500 |
Double the Sigils, plus 10 Bread for every Mini of that kind you own | |
| L33 | 2,000 |
Double the Sigils, plus 10 Wheat Flour for every Mini of that kind you own | |
| L83 | 10,000 |
Double the Sigils, plus 10 Carrot Juice for every Mini of that kind you own | |
| L253 | 50,000 |
Double the Sigils, plus 10 Strawberry Jam for every Mini of that kind you own |
Station levels
Each station levels up on its own from the XP of the batches it finishes. Every level gives exactly one reward: a new recipe, or one of these perks.
- Cook time: batches take less time.
- Ingredient cost: recipes ask for fewer ingredients (never less than 1).
- Bumper Batch: a chance for each finished batch to give 1 extra.
- Thrifty Cook: a chance, for each ingredient, to keep one that the recipe would have used.
- Auto-Collect: finished batches go straight into your bag.
| Station | Top level | XP to get there | Cook time | Ingredients | Bumper Batch | Thrifty Cook | Auto-Collect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Furnace | 33 | 655,948 | −24% | −20% | +12% | +6% | Level 19 |
| Mill | 13 | 13,653 | −12% | −10% | none | +6% | Level 11 |
| Juicer | 16 | 119,528 | −12% | −10% | +8% | +3% | Level 12 |
| Cauldron | 18 | 2,622,563 | −12% | −15% | +4% | +3% | Level 15 |
Totals once the station reaches its top level. Faster cooking only applies to batches you start after the upgrade.

Prestige
Past the top level, station XP keeps counting. Each band of XP earns a prestige pick that you spend on one of four aspects:
- Speed: recipes cook faster.
- Cost: recipes need fewer ingredients.
- Output: chance of bonus output.
- Benches: one more batch at once.
Speed takes 4% off cook time per pick, down to a floor of 10% of the original. Cost takes 3% off ingredients per pick, down to a quarter. Output adds to the Bumper Batch chance, about 4% for the first pick and a little less for each one after, up to 75%. Benches adds one bench per pick, with no limit.
Each band costs 15% more XP than the one before. The first band costs 51,200 XP at the Furnace, 2,664 XP at the Mill, 19,040 XP at the Juicer, 372,201 XP at the Cauldron,
Blackberry fuel
Once you grow blackberries (pots from L50, see Pots and trees), you can stoke a station with them from its menu. Stoked batches cook 25% faster.
Fuel is measured in cooking time, not clock time. One Common blackberry adds 1 minute of fuel, and rarer berries count for more:
| Blackberry | Fuel it adds |
|---|---|
| Common | 1m |
| Uncommon | 5m |
| Rare | 25m |
| Mythic | 2h 5m |
| Dreamlike | 10h 25m |
Fuel is used up only when you start a batch, for that batch's cooking time. An idle station burns nothing, so a week away costs you no fuel. If there isn't enough fuel for the whole batch, the part it covers still cooks faster. Stoking uses your Common berries first, and there's no cap on how much you can store.
Rare crafting
Every recipe can be cooked at a rarity, not just Common. Cook a Rare Bread and every ingredient must be Rare, and out comes a Rare Bread. It sells at the Rare price and gives the Rare XP bonus, for you and the station.
A rarity opens for a recipe once every crop in it has the mastery that rarity needs. Goods made from other goods count their crops too, so a Carrot Cake needs both carrot and wheat (for the flour) at that mastery.
Mastery needed: Uncommon 25, Rare 75, Mythic 200, Dreamlike 500. See Crops and rarity and the Mastery tool.
Every recipe
Grouped by station, in the order the station level unlocks them. Times, XP and prices are for a Common batch before any upgrades. "Sells for" is the price of one item; "Order value" is what one is worth towards an order.

Green Manure goes into its own pouch rather than your bag. See Crops and rarity for what it does.
